Jealous. Way to get after it, Zack, but give yourself credit for the trans-province portion. I think you were skiing in Alberta at Lake Louise.

Sounds like a great trip. I'll have to visit that hut someday

holy moly Zack--a panorama! My expectations are rising...

nice to see where you've been.  Let's see some hotsprings!

Question:  Which place had the best beer selection?
